Listen "Exodus: The Call"
Episode Synopsis
The Call | Exodus 3:1-9Sermon Recap & Discussion Questions
Because God is merciful, he redeems weak, sinful people to play a part in his cosmic plan of redemption.
I. Preparation
God prepared Moses his entire life to accomplish his most important task: to die pointing the people forward to the Promised Land (Cf. Deuteronomy 34:1-12).
II. Promise
God calls Moses into his service by reminding him of his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
III. People
God is the God of sinners. He uses tragically flawed people – like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses – to accomplish his purposes.
